Re: PC based robot frames

Well, you can make a PC-based robot out of just about any mobile platform that can handle the size and weight of your computer. We sell a variety of bases that would work for this. You may want to look through the wheelbot section in our catalog:http://www.trossenrobotics.com/store...heel-Bots.aspx

Re: PC based robot frames

Ok...so not to toot my own horn, but...were you meaning a PC desktop or laptop? I've never tried to make a desktop capable frame...that said, check out Gepetto in the project link. The first version caries a mac, but could really work with any laptop. Vivian the second version uses a sony vaio vgn-180p ux...about $800 on ebay by the way. I have complete turbocad drawings if you want them. I am also willing to build people frames if needed.

If you were talking about a robot capable of carrying a desktop PC...that is a whole other animal.
